Abstract

The invention relates to establishing a server initiated high-level protocol communications session between a server 10 and a client on a mobile computing device 70. The client supports a low-level protocol for both inbound and outbound calls but supports a high-level protocol for outbound calls only. The server initiates a first call to the client using the low-level protocol. Upon detecting this call, the client then initiates a second call to the server in order to establish the communications session.
